This week’s list is a little on the shorter side, but that’s OK. Considering we had a special double edition last week that covered two weeks’ worth of posts, maybe we were due for something a little lighter.

Here are the posts that grabbed my attention this week:

• The beginning of an anime series is the best part sometimes (by Scott at Mechanical Anime Reviews)
• I have trouble separating a creator’s misdeeds and their works (by Scott at Mechanical Anime Reviews)
• Is There Any Room for Average Anime Anymore? (by Remy Fool at The Lily Garden)
• Space Battleship Yamato 2199: Episode 26 and Final Thoughts (by Scott at Mechanical Anime Reviews)
• Spare a Thought for the Nameless Side Characters in Anime (by Remy Fool at The Lily Garden)
• Tuesday’s Top 5: Smart Anime Characters (by Karandi at 100 Word Anime)

Ya Boy Jack at The Aniwriter is continuing the 30 Day Anime Challenge. I won’ be highlighting all of the posts in the challenge, but I will share the ones that caught my eye:

• 30 Day Anime Challenge – Day 9: The Best Anime Villain
